The Night Manager
Jonathan Pine
S/S {1}

Tom Hiddleston said: “I could not be more excited to join BBC One, The Ink Factory and AMC for The Night Manager. Jonathan Pine is a thrilling prospect. Described by John le Carré as a ‘sometime army wolfchild with a special unit’ in the British forces, ‘caterer, chef, itinerant hotelier, perpetual escapee from emotional entanglements, collector of other people’s languages, self-exiled creature of the night and sailor without a destination,’ Jonathan Pine is the most mysterious and complex kind of British hero. It’s an honor and a privilege to work with such truly impeccable collaborators as Hugh Laurie and Susanne Bier in bringing this to the screen. David Farr’s screenplay, adapted from le Carré’s brilliant novel, is absolutely outstanding. I’m beyond thrilled and I can’t wait.”

Thanks for the thread! I thought we already had one.

One thing I didn't see posted, It will be broadcast in 2016 on both amc and bbc. I was hoping it would show up this fall, but ... no.

No problem!

I read that as well. I'm not too familiar with how television series are filmed and with this being a miniseries with only 8 episodes (I think), it won't take a more than 3 months to complete? Fall 2015 would be ideal, but since it says 2016, I'm hoping we get it early in the spring.

Thanks for starting this thread.

I hope we get to see it in early 2016, too. I guess the premiere date has more to do with network schedule strategies than the time necessary to film and edit the whole thing.

No problem, Fran!

Tom sounds really excited for it. I'll have to see if I can get an e copy of the book

vortex

Looking forward to see it.

I got a e copy of the book. Going to start on it tonight

Hawthorn

Really glad at how diverse Tom's list of projects is getting.

I'll have to look around for a copy of the novel, too. First I'll check the library because physical books motivate me to read more.

I agree he is picking some good ones. I can't tell you how many times I have loved an actor in a certain role only to end up hating them in everything else they do.

Where did you get it and what format do you use?

^ I downloaded it and it's a .epub file. Works if you download MobiPocket reader on your computer. I can send you a link if you like.

I completely agree. Tom has been so smart in picking his roles. Never been this proud as a fan.

Hawthorn

And he is mixing both genres and media (theatre, cinema, tv).
That's the story of me and Josh Holloway aside from Lost.

vortex

It's a really bummer when that happens isn't it.

My Kind Of Crazy
